Northeast Ohio Medical University is setting the standard for interprofessional education for health professionals - both in our region and across the nation. Our College of Pharmacy features a unique interdisciplinary curriculum in which a significant proportion of learning is accomplished simultaneously with medical students. The curriculum prepares graduates in a team approach to health and wellness for practice in a variety of community and inpatient settings.

Beginning from the onset, experiential curriculum components are taught throughout the university’s clinical facilities, which include formal teaching hospitals, community hospitals and health care systems, ambulatory care clinics, private and corporate pharmacies and county Boards of Health.

We help our students develop the characteristics that people want to see in their health care professionals: competence, communication, caring, character, community and curiosity.

If your professional calling is to provide excellent patient care as part of a health care team, then NEOMED is the place for you!
